Mommy Snow Days

Being a mom isn't easy. What can make it even more difficult is not being able to take the kids outside to play. Living in the Chicago area, we are no stranger to snow. When a snowstorm hits, you can get stranded in your home for a couple of days. Here are some wonderful ideas to keep little ones busy when you are stuck inside for a while.

Have dance parties

Play tag

Bring out the playdough

Bake some cookies

Make some snacks, and watch a movie

Make forts with the couch cushions

Read stories to each other, or make them up

Get some stickers and go crazy with them

Paint some pictures

Put together some puzzles

Put up your tent and go camping in your living room

Bring some snow inside and have a sensory experience (great for really little kids)

There are so many activities that can be done indoors, but as soon as the storm has cleared, and it is safe to do so, go outside and play in the snow!
